🇳🇱 Hobbyhorse Wedstrijd “Het Zesspan”

Date: 21 June 2025
Location: Kerk-Avezaath, Netherlands
Organiser: Manege Het Zesspan
Website: hetzesspan.nl/hobbyhorse – Hobbyhorsestal Maaike

The Betuwe fruit region hosts a full-scale indoor tournament inside Manege Het Zesspan’s 60 × 20 m arena. Classes run from 30 cm clear-rounds to a 90 cm grand-prix jump-off, plus barrel-race, dressage and a crowd-pleasing pairs relay. Riders pre-select any combination of classes and pay per start; spectator entry is free, with a pancake truck and fresh-juice stall parked by the warm-up ring. The best-dressed pony parade at lunchtime awards orchard-themed prizes—think apple-leaf ear bonnets and cherry-print saddlecloths. Overnight box stalls (for stick-ponies!) and tent pitches are available, making the meet a mini-holiday for Dutch hobby-horse families.
